HVC 250 - HVAC Refrigeration I

Credit(s): 3

Prerequisite(s): HVC 140.
This course provides an introduction to the mechanical compression refrigeration cycle and the necessary components. Students will be introduced to the common terms and definitions of the cycle as well as what, when, and where to measure temperatures and pressures for diagnostics. An in-depth discussion of the four major components (Compressor, Condenser, Metering Device, Evaporator) will conclude with all of them working together in a hypothetical system moving heat energy.
